FDR - THE MEMORIAL
The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial is one of the most expansive
memorials in the nation. Yet, its shade trees, waterfalls, statuary,
and quiet alcoves create the feeling of a secluded garden rather
than an imposing structure. The memorial is divided into four
outdoor galleries, or rooms, one for each of FDR’s terms in
office. The rooms are defined by walls of red South Dakota granite
and by ornamental plantings; quotations from FDR are carved
into the granite. Water cascades and quiet pools are present
throughout. Each room conveys in its own way the spirit of this
great man.
